Crossbow hard case

ABSTRACT

The crossbow hard case consists of a hull base compartment and a lid cover that forms a compartment crossbow case when the lid cover is closed in contrast to the hull base. The lid and case are hinged along one edge to allow uniform opening and closing of the lid cover. The crossbow hard case forms the profile shape of a diamond, with the diamond&#39;s point blunt. The lid cover has a concaved area from the interior side bulging to the exterior of the lid that encases the sights or scope of the crossbow. The case fastens together by several latches that are hinged to the lid cover, and back catch the top of the hull base compartment to form a secure closed crossbow hard case. The crossbow is secured in position by 3 adjustable buckle straps and one velcro strap. The foot cocking bar rests on a foam padded bench within the hull base compartment, while the stock rests between two removable storage boxes that velcro in and out of place. The crossbow can be fully assembled with a scope, open sights, and quiver with arrows while secured in hard case. The interior side of the lid cover also has foam block holders for extra arrows, while the hull base contains removable storage boxes that store accessories. The hard case has a handle that forms when the lid cover and hull base are closed. The interior surfaces of the plastic hard case is lined with protective foam padding.

BACKGROUND OF INVENTION

[0001] The invention is a hard transportation case for fully assembledcrossbow.

[0002] Crossbow hunting has become more popular and widespreadthroughout the world. Technology has developed the most precise andadvanced state of the art crossbows ever offered on the market. Thistype of expensive equipment needs a hard case with impeccable protectionoffered at a reasonable cost. The crossbow hard case can secure theassembled crossbow in place with minimum movement, and secure allnecessary equipment accessories.

[0003] Assembled crossbows include all makes and models with quivers andarrows assembled into place. Open sights or scopes can also be mountedon the crossbow. This hard case is a necessity for crossbow hunters andthose who shoot crossbows as a recreation. Specific problems may beinvolved with art of the crossbow hard case. This hard case has a handlethat may need repositioned on the case for a specific balance needed tocomfortably carry the case. The prior art doesn't illustrate foampadding that will line the interior of the case hull base and the lidcover. The prior art doesn't illustrate the white wool lining of thescope and open sight area in the interior of the lid cover.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

[0004] The derived purpose of this hard case is to provide an affordablecase with the best protection for all crossbows.

[0005] Another purpose is to store all accessories of the crossbow inthe hull base storage boxes.

[0006] Other purposes include straps that secure the crossbow, and abench rest that supports the crossbow level.

[0007] The crossbow hard case has a lid cover and a hull base that forma diamond shape case when closed together. The lid cover and hull baseare hinged along one edge. These hinges allow uniform closing andopening of the case. The tie down straps are secured to the interiorsurface of the hull base. The crossbow hard case is securely closed withlatches.

[0008] In the embodiment, the crossbow hard case is made of a harddurable lightweight plastic material. Straps secure the crossbows limbs,stock, and foot cocking bar in position. The crossbow rests level in thecase with the foot cocking bar on the bench rest, and the stock ispositioned up right between the storage boxes.
